More than 35 players were selected to represent the North West at a national tournament scheduled for August 9-11 in Johannesburg. Members of Team North West – 20 Under-15 boys and 15 Under-15 girls – will individually be playing to be selected for Team South Africa that will be competing in a Confederation of African Football (Caf) youth championship in Namibia later in the year.
The North West Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation spokesperson, Shuping Sebolecwe said Team North West was selected in Potchefstroom after four districts locked horns in a day-long contest.
“The soccer players and their management teams were supported by the Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation, as well as the North West Department of Education.
“The winning districts went home with medals and cups. In the boys’ contest, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, Bojanala and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati earned gold, silver and bronze respectively. In the same medals order for girls, it was Bojanala, Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati and Dr Kenneth Kaunda,” he said.
